    Awesome.

    Nice set up there. I'd recommend a little solder fume fan and maybe a little more clutter!
    I always like to see a lived in workspace. Makes my mess seem normal

    This is my Kylo Ren Helmet building station, carb rebuilding station, saber building station, grass does not grow on a busy street on my workbench. It is well used. Its always messy at the end of my builds, on final assembly day. Tonight is bench cleaning night. Then onto re-paint the chassis where I had to sand it to get it to fit properly. This saber is awesome, and although than NBIV lacks features that I'm used to, for the price, size, simplicity, and sensitivity....I see why its a go to board for so many people. It now has me curious about some other more feature intensive Plecter boards. I'd like to wire up a prism on my next build.

    Full assembly vid is up. Does not show everything, but pretty good overall idea of assembly. Saber was fun to build and looks great. I'm ready to do another MHS build with chassis/crystal chambers of my own design though. that seems like more fun to me, but this does look awesome, and works awesome. There is a full demo at end of video with blade in. Thanks for watching, and if you have any advice, I'll take it to heart.
